1 Corinthians 12:31-13:9

Whiston(i) 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: And yet shew I unto you a more excellent way. 13 1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have no charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, [and] is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not it self, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave it self unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth: 7 Covereth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Charity never faileth: but whether prophecies, they shall fail; whether tongues, they shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
